You can also use the Makefile and do "make install" yourself, but there is no (maintained) uninstall. The tar.bz2 file can be used to create an RPM package: rpm -bb fou4s-0.x.y.tar.bz2 The RPM file is stored in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/noarch/suse-get-0.x.y-z.noarch.rpm Installation =========== RPM version: rpm -Uvh suse-get-0.x.y-z.noarch.rpm tar.bz2 version: tar --bzip2 -xvf suse-get-0.x.y.tar.bz2 Note: On SuSE >= 8.0, tar xIvf doesn't work anymore, you have to use xjvf. The --bzip2 option is universal. Contact ======= http://gaugusch.at/linuxtools/suse-get.shtml Markus Gaugusch
